Description

2 COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR STABILIZING IRON COMPOUNDS IN
AN AQUEOUS ENVIRONMENT, AND USE OF COMPOSITION
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to a composition and a method for stabilizing iron compounds in an aqueous environment. The invention also relates to the use of said composition as iron dispersant or iron chelating agent.
BACKGROUND ART
Iron is always existing in water and it could form deposit in the equipment and pipeline. The deposited iron may result in corrosion of metal pipes or equipment. Therefore, deposition of iron is a problem especially in water treatment industry. Dispersant for iron, which may disperse iron compound, is typically employed in water treatment industry. The most suitable dispersants can be chosen on the grounds of the requirements. Different dispersants have effect on different chemicals, such as iron, manganese, calcium carbonate or calcium sulfate. For water treatment industry, diethylenetriamine penta(methylene phosphonic acid) (DTPMPA) is one of typically used dispersants. However, a high phosphorus content of DTPMPA may have negative impact on environment.
In pulp and paper manufacturing, iron coming from wood and from the process equipment is a problem in pulp bleaching. Hydrogen peroxide is widely used as a bleaching agent for different mechanical and chemi-mechanical pulps. Using hydrogen peroxide it is possible to improve pulp brightness. Iron and manganese are the main catalysts for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide results in deterioration of fibers, lower whiteness and brightness, and increased consumption of hydrogen peroxide. To reach the required ISO brightness, higher peroxide consumption is needed when iron exists in bleaching process. Therefore, specific chelating steps are included into the chemical pulp process, usually prior to bleaching stages, for eliminating effects of iron and manganese. To detect the efficiency of the deactivation of the metals, usually the pulp properties such as brightness result and viscosity are measured. Also, the residual hydrogen peroxide after bleaching is informative.

Phosphonates are typically used as efficient chelating agents in those steps.
However, the effectiveness of phosphonates might be insufficient, and the hydrogen peroxide consumption cannot be reduced remarkably. In the case of mechanical pulp, iron and manganese may be deactivated by complexing them with monomeric or polymeric complexing agents. This is done to prevent these metal ions from catalyzing the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Commonly, DTPMPA is also used as iron chelating agent in pulp and paper industry.
However, there is a constant need for cost effective and environmentally benign compositions for stabilizing iron compounds in water treatment and/or in pulp bleaching processes.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
An object of this invention is to minimise or even totally eliminate the disadvantages existing in the prior art.
An object of the invention is to provide a stable composition for stabilizing iron compounds in an aqueous environment. Especially, an object of the invention is to provide a composition suitable for use as iron dispersant in water treatment for controlling, preventing and/or reducing the formation of iron deposit.
Further, it is an object of the present invention to provide a composition suitable for use as iron chelating agent in pulp bleaching for stabilizing hydrogen peroxide and so providing a cost-effective method for preventing hydrogen peroxide degradation due to iron catalysis in bleaching processes.
In order to achieve among others the objects presented above, the invention is characterized by what is presented in the characterizing parts of the enclosed independent claims.
Some preferred embodiments of the invention will be described in the other dependent claims.
